Forwarding of samples for testing to outside laboratories: field formations may forward specified samples to designated labs. Customs field formations may directly forward samples of specified goods that Revenue Laboratories cannot test to identified external or empanelled laboratories. Field formations must follow the sampling technique prescribed by the receiving laboratory and confirm sampling requirements beforehand. For live consignments, samples must be sent promptly and laboratories requested to upload test reports for online access. If laboratory turnaround exceeds three days, the importer must be offered the warehouse option. Testing charges are payable by the importer or exporter. The procedure excludes cases where Partner Government Agencies draw samples.
